Where the Hurt Lost its Hold

Kurt Neely grew up determined to become a different man from his father. He wanted a home where his wife felt loved and his son never wondered whether he mattered. Yet even as he worked hard and provided for his family, alcohol began taking more of his time-and drawing him toward the life he had promised to leave behind.

When his son Kevin leaves home and tells a lie that turns relatives against Kurt and Lisa, the couple faces a heartbreak neither knows how to repair. Kurt cannot make everyone believe the truth. But he can face the choices that threaten his marriage and decide what kind of man he wants to be.

At a Texas cowboy church, and through friendships renewed after twenty-nine years, Kurt begins finding the courage to change. Faith offers him hope, but rebuilding trust will take honesty, patience, and more than promises.

Where the Hurt Lost Its Hold is a moving story of marriage, family, forgiveness, and the daily choice to stop passing yesterday's pain into tomorrow.
